Ian Lowe, AO, explains that energy is essential for civilised living, and says our energy-intensive lifestyle based on fossil fuels is unsustainable, and that he believes fundamental improvements must be made. In his book he says: "the nuclear option does not make sense on any level: economically, environmentally, politically or socially. It is too costly, too dangerous, too slow and has too small an impact on global warming."[1]
Professor Lowe is the Emeritus professor of Science, Technology and Society at Griffith University and the former President of the Australian Conservation Foundation.[3]
